As the spinoff of The Vampire Diaries, Legacies has been missing one very important thing since its debut:

Decade dances!

The original series featured several throughout its eight-season run. Heck, no TV show can pull them off quite like The Vampire Diaries can. 

If you watch The Vampire Diaries online, you know they were a great source of drama, fashion, and wild plot twists. 

Thankfully, Legacies Season 2 Episode 5 will feature one. 

Here's the official logline direct from CW:

As the Salvatore School prepares for its upcoming '80s-themed decade dance, Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) and Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) find themselves trapped inside a never-ending labyrinth with a monster on their trail.

Meanwhile, Josie (Kaylee Bryant) and Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) decide whether or not to take their relationship to the next level.

Elsewhere, MG (Quincy Fouse) turns to Kaleb (guest star Chris Lee) for advice on what to do about Sebastian (guest star Thomas Doherty), while Rafael (Peyton Alex Smith) struggles to adjust to his life back at the school.

The best part of this particular storyline is that we know Hope and Lizzie will have to work with each other. If you watch Legacies online, you know they hated each other for much of Legacies Season 1.

But with Hope's existence from the world being wiped, and the fact that there's a monster chasing the two teenagers, they're going to need to work together to survive. 

The good thing is that Lizzie won't remember Hope, and this could be the start of them forging a friendship that could be able to last ... even when everyone remembers who Hope is. 

Lizzie had her reasons for not liking Hope, but if they're faced with a life or death scenario and they manage to save each other, then they should be able to forge a bond. 

Unfortunately for Hope, Landon and Josie still look to be loving life as a couple. They do look cute in their outfits for the party. 

It's a real shame that Julie Plec and Brett Matthews chose to travel this route, but it has successfully shown viewers another side to both Landon and Josie.

Whether their relationship will continue to flourish when the truth comes out, we don't quite know. We know that Landon was struggling with his feelings on Legacies Season 2 Episode 2. 

However, the title of the episode, "Screw Endgame," could suggest that someone finds out the truth and that they think Landon is better suited to Josie than Hope. 

Either that or someone was super mad about the conclusion of The Avengers: Endgame. We don't know!
